Plymouth A………….22

Sedgley Park……….. 3

ALBION made it six from six at home this season with a hardearned win over a resolute Sedgley Park side who have made a big impression on National 1 after their promotion.

The difference between the two sides was the superior Plymouth kicking game when they had the wind advantage

Sedgley had first use of the strong wind blowing down the pitch.

The visitors opened the scoring when Warren Seals kicked a 45-metre penalty.

Plymouth responded in style and, after putting a penalty into the corner, Gabe Mead scored his first try for the club, finishing off the catch and drive.

Seals was wide with a penalty before Plymouth stretched their lead when Mead got his second in an identical close range catch and drive. Tom Putt converted both Plymouth first-half tries.

Sedgley started the second half with 14 after impressive Tom Ailes was yellow carded. While he was off the field Putt stretched the home lead with a penalty

The game then became a battle of attrition as the conditions worsened.

The only other points came late on when Plymouth No 8 Hallam Chapman crossed in the corner.
